Today, Skyclad have finally revealed details about their upcoming 13th studio album. The long-awaited successor to 2009's In The... All Together will be released on the 28th of April and has been given the title Forward Into The Past.

In other words, kind of what one could expect from the British folk metallers, but we will have to wait and see how the return of early-90's guitarist Dave Pugh has affected the sound.
